Letting in Herne Hill
What to check before you pick an agent in Herne Hill.
The headline rate is only the start. These four checks show what each agent will really cost you.
The fee in pounds, with VAT
Most landlords can't reclaim VAT on residential lets, so compare the VAT-inclusive rate. On a London rent, the gap between 12% and 20.4% is worth about £2,350 a year.
The extras on top
Tenancy paperwork fees, monthly compliance charges and fees for serving the yearly rent increase notice can add hundreds of pounds. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing.
Two councils, two sets of rules
Herne Hill is split between Lambeth and Southwark, and each council runs its own licensing schemes. Check which one covers your address, and find out whose name is on any licence.
Reviews, and how many there are
A 4.9 rating from 20 reviews isn't the same as a 4.9 from 1,000. Your comparison shows the rating and the number of reviews behind it.
The area
Why renters look at Herne Hill.
Knowing what draws tenants to the area helps you and your agent pitch the listing, and set the rent, to the right people.
Brockwell Park and Lido
Brockwell Park, with its lido, walled garden and views over the city, sits right next to the station. It's the first thing many tenants mention when they view.
Victoria and Thameslink
Herne Hill station has Southeastern trains to Victoria and Thameslink trains through Blackfriars, and Brixton's Victoria line is a short bus ride away.
The Velodrome and the market
The Herne Hill Velodrome, a venue at the 1948 Olympics, still hosts track cycling, and the weekend market and independent shops by the station keep the area lively.
Terraces and conversion flats
Herne Hill is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats. If you own a leasehold flat, check the lease's letting terms before you instruct an agent.
Questions
Letting agents in Herne Hill, explained.
How much do letting agents charge in Herne Hill?
Across London, the agents we checked publish full-management fees of 12% to 20.4% of the rent including VAT. Big-name agents sit at the top of that range and local independents usually charge less. Your comparison shows the published fees of the agents that cover your address.
Do I need a licence to let in Herne Hill?
It depends on whether your address is in Lambeth or Southwark, as each runs its own schemes. Check the right council's scheme for your exact address before you let or switch agent.
Can I change letting agent mid-tenancy?
Yes. Check your contract's notice period, exit fee and any commission on tenants the agent found. If your agent is the named licence holder, speak to the council first, because a licence can't be transferred.
Is the comparison free?
Yes. Enter your address and sign in with your email so we can send you the report. We compare the agents near your property at no cost, and nothing is sent to an agent.
